Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The immigrant community lack of knowledge or information about resources around them and ways to collaborate to improve this services in the city they live, many institutions of health, education, housing, labor , etc are trying to outreach this group, Lazos creates an secure space in which all the interested people can participate and collaborate to find solutions to common programs. during COVID times this spaces are called them Mutual Aid groups. We believe that each human being is able to contribute with their knowledge to the lives of others in an organic way and we are helping to connect people, resources and opportunities for the wellbeing of all.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Promotor de Salud es Vida

Lazos volunteers met in 2001 to talk about the lack of health resources the people of color suffer regardless their ethnic, language or social status, they associate with different groups to plan how to help the health institutions to reach out the community and after many different programs and initiatives in 2008 a partnership was created with Dr Karen D'Alonso from the School of Nursing of Rutgers University and other education/research institutions and people from different sectors to collectively created a community health workers training program, this was possible thanks to the support of RWJF grant, the Mexican Consulate Ventanilla de Salud Program, the participation of Dr Tomomi Kozaki ( Senshu University), Dr Yukari Hojo (Setsunan University ) and Dr Kazuo Fujishiro,(JICA).
Since 2001 the group has being growing and each CHW has being evolving in their personal lives and activities they choose to do in their personal and collectives lives, the program now is providing workshops for women and men anywhere in New Jersey and the CWH from Lazos are providing workshops, presentations in different places they are invited.
